Prejudice is known to be a "disease" that we can never get rid of.It is something dangerously harmful to to our mental,and perhaps even physical,health that we can never eradicate.
One good example of prejudice is the racism in United States.In the aftermath of the civil war,the blacks who no sooner were granted freedom that they had always been fighting for,sadly experienced harsher and stronger prejudice that before when they were still regarded as slaves.They were not allowed to dine in places where the whites were dining in,go to the same schools as the whites,and even were deprived of their rights to vote for elected officials.Actually,the first merchants who entered the slaves tradewere not doing so because they were prejudiced against the africans-they did it for the sake of monetary benefits.Unfortunately,they started to think that all blacks could be regarded as inferior slaves after they had laid the foundations for economic profits well.
In my opinion,this discrimination against the blacks is unreasonable and definitely not justifiable.It is just like any harmful and contagious disease that has been passed down for centuries,making it so deeply ingrained in the country's culture that it is almost impossible to eradicate anymore.
Therefore,i firmly agree that prejudice is frighteningly detrimental to the victims' mental health and that prejudice can never ever be wiped out unless the world has decided to work together to eradicate it through global efforts.

Youtube has no ethics?
Is it true that youtube has no ethics,and that it has been created only for the sole purpose of entertainment and money? i say a resounding no.
Youtibe is a popular video-sharing website .According to a 16th July 2006 survey, 100 million clips are viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded per 24 hour, and the site has almost 20 million visitors each month. With this viewership which is extremely high, advertisers would want to be on YouTube, and this in turn leads to profit-making for the company.
YouTube also provides entertainment for people. On YouTube, not only can you find millions of home-made videos which are interesting and amusing (such as a video of a girl snorting a strand of cooked spaghetti and then choking it out her mouth), you can even watch music videos and dramas. The only concern is just that some of the videos may constitute copyright infringement.
However, putting entertainment and profit-making aside, YouTube was also utilized for other useful purposes. It was used to provide healthcare information through the health-related videos which are uploaded by either doctors or laypeople. For instance, a government funded clinic in Builth in Wales, UK, has posted videos on YouTube with nurses demonstrating how to sample blood sugar levels and usean inhaler.Furthermore, even the political candidates for the 2008 US Presidential election have been using YouTube as an outlet for advertising their candidacy.
Hence, the purpose of creating YouTube is not solely for entertainment and money.
